Question

    Moscow’s metro is thought of as the most beautiful metro in the world. It is the fifth largest metro system in the world by the length of route, and the fourth busiest metro system in the world by the annual passenger flow(年客流量).On May 15, 1935, the Soviet government opened the metro. The metro was built to provide shelter for more than 4 million people during the war.

Moscow's metro is like a palace. Few countries in the world can build metros like it, and most of these metros have a long history. It's really hard to imagine that one hundred years ago, Russians could build metros like this.

If you travel to Russia, you really should experience the metro in Moscow. If you don't know Russian and don't have much experience in tourism, you'd better find friends who understand Russian to go there with you, because the metro in Moscow is really complicated( 复杂), and there are not always English signs to show you where to go.

Moscow’s metro is not only spectacular, but also very deep. Because Moscow’s metro is not only a means of transportation, but also taking the responsibility((责任) of underground air defense(空防) shelters during the war.

Each station is designed by famous artists in Russia, each with its own special style. And each station has its own theme. Some have many murals( 壁画)that show the important events in Russian history.
